@gamerman01 full scramble and the sub fights.

@gamerman01 said in BM 23 Playoff Final Gamerman (L+4) vs Farmboy (X):

As tantalizing as a German fleet is, it is so important to get on top of Russia fast.

This is old school - buy as many ground first 3 rounds as you can, or Russia stuffs you.

Let’s see if I can remember how to deal with this - it’s been a long time! In other words, well played

Yeah. When I played you last, I was rusty with the axis (as like you I prefer playing allies) and I was letting your Western allies distract me to much. The axis have to be able to get past Bryansk before they face too much pressure on the West or they are done. So I tried to be a bit more aggressive against the British in G1 (which didn’t fully pay off) and then focus more on the soviets after.
